Even though the Detroit Tigers were not on the diamond, one of Justin Verlander‘s most memorable tweets of 2017 was in full effect today.
It involved pitchers who rake.
While there were plenty of highlights in the three games that dominated television, the most notable event involved San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner.

Not to be outdone by any other pitcher, Bumgarner hit a second one in the seventh off of Andrew Chafin.
